pretty much the only people watching the 3-4 letter boomer “news” networks is retirees, people who grew up before the internet existed…who have all pretty much only known manufactured consent programming their entire lives.
even shit like jimmy kimmel, more people watch fucking…asmongold regularly than people who watch kimmel
yes, most people have mommy/daddy issues. they say the first step towards true personal growth is identifying/dealing with those issues
also, yes, most people want that happy family dynamic
what sauce did italians use before tomatoes were brought over from the New World?
never was
name and shame
honestly…seems like AI-slop is making things so bad that it’s pushing people away back into real life, so…kinda
news has been lying to people long before AI
next you’ll tell me people don’t always tell the truth on the internet or to not always believe what you read in the newspaper
back in the 60-70’s we used to tax everything over 100k (800k now, with inflation) at 70%
now, everything over 600k is just 37%
1 billionaire owns like 70% of the radio across the country, doesn’t matter what you say the right’s propaganda machine will always be on target.
yup…can run the numbers, he won the popular vote. the “palestine or nothing” people are a drop in the bucket
the overwhelming majority of the country doesn’t have the privilege of caring about people outside their immediate bubble…they’re too busy living paycheck to paycheck
don’t run on “nothing will fundamentally change” if you want americans to vote for you, simple as. maybe also don’t run fucking republicans endorsements during the DNC…
i’m honestly not sure what’s worse, if establishment dems are largely just controlled opposition or if they’re really just this incompetent
if it’s any consolation, damn near all meat in the US is considered unfit for human consumption by most of the rest of the world
i dont get what anyone’s so worried about, as a straight white man cops don’t seem to give me any trouble when i present my papers
how would you incorporate vasectomys into this analogy?
then idea of the down on his luck farmer is a lie sold to you buy the farm lobby. the overwhelming majority of farmers are multi-millionaires abusing this system to ratfuck public funds the same as everyone else who is rich. they even have their own special class of bankruptcy that lets them protect large chunks of assets and that class of bankruptcy literally only benefits rich farmers.
i really feel like we should start calling these the Trump-Epstein files
the same people behind the UK’s and everyone elses right wing ragebait are the same people behind the US’s
the tldr as to why the US actually does need Greenland…China has cut off the US damn near completely from a number rare earth elements that the US’s MIC needs to function. other parts of the world might be willing to start selling researves to the US if they have em or extracting none deposits, but that access does not come free…certainly to an administration hellbent on blatantly extorting anybody and everybody. And if the US’s MIC loses it’s teeth…well, rest of the world has been tired of the US’s warmongering for a long time now.
why greenland specifically?
because greenland just so happens to have an abundance of known REE deposits that are untapped, and is close enough to the US mainland that securing that supply chain would be child’s play. but they’re not in an easy to mine areas nor does the greenland really have the existing infrastructure to support them. so all around it’d just be a massive endeavor to start exploiting them
why don’t they just…ask/bribe their decades long allies to properly start extracting these resources? because they’re short-sighted greedy jackals…cruelty is the point with these animals
that’s just real life at this point, with algo social media
eh, drones have kind of countered navies no navy, no US power projection
